Skybet seems to be the place.

I remember that shock win.

I had wondered if was in the Norwegian international style of the 90’s, giant players and akin to Pulisball?

De Zerbi and Knutsen intrigue me, exciting times for us, now the dust is settling.

Two big factors here.

1. It was Roma’s B team.
2. It was ****ing freezing.

The subsequent draw in Italy was more impressive.

Nah, it's quick passing and clever goals. Really quite exciting.

Norway is fairly much a farmers league but his side have looked really good in Europe despite that. A bit like Ostersunds....

"1. It was Roma’s B team."

Yes. Yes it was.

"2. It was ****ing freezing."

Norway is. But so are a lot of places in Italy in January :shrug:

"The subsequent draw in Italy was more impressive"

As impressive perhaps. If we have a coach who can use all of the advantages given to him to win big at home and draw away then I'm all in 100%.

You might as well say of our 4-0 win at home to United "1 - they had an unsuitable coach 2 - Ronaldo wasn't trying 3- it was a bit warm". We all know we played the poorest version of United there is that day but it raised Potter's stock and remains a favourite game of most Brighton fans.

Chris Sutton on this possibility:

‘But Celtic are far bigger than the majority of teams who operate within England’s top flight and that is a fact. Like I’ve said, no disrespect to Brighton, but Celtic are miles ahead of them. I can’t see a coach of Postecoglou’s quality stepping down the ladder to go to England’s South Coast.’

What a knut!

Can't remember where it was but didn't someone from the betting industry state these 'next manager' odds are volatile. Too small a book of bets and it only takes a couple of £10 bets to bump people towards the top.

Yet Brendan Rodgers dumped them for Leicester.

What a knut!
Firstly, he's a complete tw@. Secondly, he's biased towards Celtic and thinks his years in the monkey tennis league mean something.

Leicester had just won the Premier League though!

They won it in 2016 and he joined them in 2019, so not 'just won'.

Correct.

Hence how De Zerbi went from 33/1 to 4/1 in a matter of hours.

Not because anyone has any insider knowledge … but because he was mentioned in an article and a couple of people have put £10 on him.
